Chapter 194: Two Admiral-Level Powerhouses Deployed
After that, the small boat slowly sailed into the Sea of Devouring Ghosts.
Beneath the boat, black stone blocks were emitting a faint glow.
Before long, they disappeared into the Sea of Devouring Ghosts.
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, an order was issued.
Black Arm Zephyr and Borsalino—two of the Marines' greatest combat forces—set out with two fleets, each fleet consisting of five warships.
...
Within the Sea of Devouring Ghosts Florian triangle.
Jiang Qize put away the Den Den Mushi, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
"They really think highly of me, huh… sending out two admiral-level combat forces."
Just now, Akainu had called him, saying that news had come from the World Government ordering them to send people to intercept him at Water Seven—specifically, two admiral-level powerhouses.
"It seems the World Government truly has plenty of capable people, to actually be able to find my location."
His eyes narrowed.
If possible, he didn't really want to come into contact with people from the World Government right now. After all, whether in his past life or this one, he knew very little about the World Government.
Unknown enemies were the most frightening. Although he currently had three admiral-level combat forces—counting himself, barely four—and two vice admiral-level combat forces, the World Government combined with the Marines would not be weaker than him, and might even be far stronger.
The fact that they were able to so quickly pinpoint their location already demonstrated a formidable foundation.
"However, catching me won't be that easy!"
Jiang Qize's lips curled upward slightly.
"Mosasaurus—within one day, find those two Marine fleets. There are two strong ones on board. Go give them some trouble!"
His lips moved as a voice appeared in the deep sea, reaching the Mosasaurus's ears.
"Mo~" A low, resonant sound came from the water.
Immediately after, the water rippled, and a massive black shadow vanished in an instant.
Underwater, so what if it was the Marines? Even a group of admirals would be nothing to fear—if they had the ability, let them come down into the water.
It could be said that underwater was the Mosasaurus's domain.
"Come on. Let me see what you're capable of!"
Jiang Qize narrowed his eyes, licked his lips, and revealed a crazed smile.
He ordered the Dragonflame to stop and wait for the World Government's powerhouses to arrive.
...
Alabasta.
In the desert outside the Yuba Oasis.
A gigantic underground city made entirely of sand stood there.
And in the desert, a sandstorm was ravaging Yuba, the only oasis in Alabasta.
At this moment, the once-bustling Yuba no longer had a single person daring to walk the streets. A layer of yellow sand covered the roads, and sand piled up on rooftops and in front of doors.
Creak!
At this time, the door of a house opened.
Three figures—two adults and one child—wrapped up tightly and carrying large bags stepped out.
Creak…
The door of a neighboring house also opened, revealing a fat head.
"Yitian, are you really leaving?" the plump middle-aged man asked in surprise as he looked at the family of three.
"If we don't leave, what are we staying here for? This sandstorm hasn't stopped for a single day. Those merchants don't dare come here anymore, and there's no food. If this keeps up, we'll die here."
One of the middle-aged men sighed.
Starting a month ago, this oasis city had been plagued by sandstorms. Except for nighttime, they hadn't stopped all day long. They had also tried staying, after all, they had lived here for many years.
But the sand increased day by day. As soon as you opened the door, a gust of sand would blow into the house. Step outside and you'd be covered in sand, and even drawing water had become difficult.
Many people in Yuba had already left. They were considered among the very last. As for whether this strange sandstorm would ever stop, they no longer held any hope.
